That's interesting... what do you have the timing set to and what was the limit?

Quote »slightly upped fuel pressure(via hitting top of stock fpr)[/quote]Have you happened to run a wideband o2 sensor on the car by chance? I'd recommend check that out because generally Nissan runs the cars with a pretty rich mixture. By upping the fuel pressure you'll make it run even richer which can reduce power if is too rich.

Just some thoughts.

i didnt measure it but i just dremmeled, in both directions, the dizzy slider adjustment

the gage read 44ish psi fuel pressure i bumped it to 46, so a 4% increase in fuel it does run a little rich though

a couple more videos of my carhttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zer...d=194

also forgot to mention the KA24E throttle body

I'd definitely get a timing light on there. If you advance it too much you will actually lose some power. I think generally you shouldn't advance base timing more than 3°.

I'd also hook up a wideband o2 if you can and consider getting Nistune or similar to tune it as, generally, NA cars tend to make a bit more power with a leaner mixture.
